"I got divorced at 21. Being a polio patient & a dark-skinned girl, I faced discrimination by society…even from my husband. And so after 2 years, I left.
While fighting for my rights, I met a man who promised me the world & allured me with the idea of a family; I was 24. He didn't care about my polio or dark skin. In fact, he even asked me to move with him to Gurgaon. But moving cities was scary. When he assured me that he'd make me meet his parents & even married me in a temple ceremony- I agreed. But we never legally married.… that should have been my red flag.
2 months after, I found out I was pregnant. At first we
panicked, but then together, we decided to abort. But
when the doctor said, 'Aborting this child means
complications in the future,' I asked him, 'Let's make this legal?' He agreed & we went to visit his parents.
But they said, 'Abortion karwa lo.' When I didn't relent they said, 'Aisi ladki se shaadi nahi kara sakte.! I was shocked!
But what surprised me more was him too insisting I get an abortion! I was enraged. Without anyone's support, I was fighting for something 2 people were responsible for. With my disability, I didn't think I could take care of the baby. So, I went to the police station, but there, they called me "bachhalan'.
